How To Be A Good Wife
It is 1968. The immaculate and morally upright Paulette Van Der Beck (the ever-exquisite Juliette Binoche) and her husband Robert have been running Van der Beck's School of Housekeeping and Good Manners in the lush regions of Alsace for over two decades. Striking a near-magical tone that's both satirical and tender, this hugely-entertaining tale of solidarity looks set to become one of the year's biggest comedic hits.
Critic Reviews:
- " Though it's miles from the French New Wave provocations of the era, this breezy satire sows the seeds of rebellion through escalating farce, a winning comedic ensemble, and a dash of queer longing. " – Luke Goodsell (ABC News, Australia)
- " Brightly coloured, it's a passable, feather-lite nostalgia trip with some broad comic touches. " – Jim Schembri (jimschembri.com)
- " A retro-sweet send off to a hellacious year. " – Andiee Paviour (Nobody's Reading This But Me)
